In this session, we will wind down from a busy week and sketch and share our favourite places with each other. In small groups we will each choose a Google Street view of a place important to us or a place we want to visit in our country or region, and sketch it for 20 minutes, while talking about the significance of that place to us. We will take turns choosing places to sketch so everyone has a chance to share something about their culture.
Come prepared with a place you want to share and sketch and some art supplies - paints, pencils, mixed media or digital drawing tools.
If there are enough folks interested, I will create a slack channel so we can get together in future to do virtual sketchings together via Google Street View.
What is the goal and/or outcome of your session?:The goal of the session is to bring MozFest community together to play and do something relaxing together. The participants will stretch their creative muscles, and get to know about each other's culture.
How will you deal with varying numbers of participants in your session?:After the introduction, the participants will be broken up in small groups to paint and chat together. At the end of the session we will all share our sketches with each other. If there is only one person joining, we will have an in depth 1x1 conversation while sketching. If there are 30 participants, they will be broken down into groups of 3 people.
